Friday night games are a big part of what makes RVJFC a great place for the kids to play Football. In past years it has been the older age groups who have had the privalidge of playing on Friday nights, but over the last couple of years most of our comp teams get an opportunity to share the experience.

It costs the club a little bit extra in electricity but this is generally made up for by increased sales on the BBQ as a lot of locals come down to watch the kids run around and have a sausage or steak sandwich.

Over the last couple of years the committee has struggled with finding the best (most economical!) way to get the lights repaired at our ground, and it got to the point where we had a few lights out and really needed to spend some serious money to get them fixed. In general business have tightened their purse strings and it’s not easy to get someone to loan you a Cherry Picker, and then the OH&S implications that go along with that, and getting the work done.

Earlier in the year a company based in Unanderra, K&R Fabrications, offered to have the lights repaired for us. So, from everyone at RVJFC we’d like to say thanks to Nick Mandranis and the team who made this possible. Your support for our club is greatly appreciated by everyone.
